More information

Although widespread, Vanity is often overlooked in favour of other musk hybrid varieties. The cultivar displays several distinctive characteristics. The flowers are nearly single (almost non-double), with wavy petals. The colouring is bright cherry-pink or magenta; with age the blooms fade (“burn out”) to lilac-pink. There is a small white spot at the base of the petals and a cluster of dark yellow stamens, creating a marked centre. The trusses (brushes) are loose and large, forming generous clusters on the shrub. After flowering, rounded orange fruits appear. The shrub is spreading; in hot climates it can be grown or trained on a support as a climbing rose. The foliage is large, rather sparse, but quite resistant to disease.
